Fishing Report on Rocky Mountain National Park from Dave Clark (guide)

Did some research yesterday. Started at Cub Creek,flows are still below high water level but slightly stained still very wadeable. Water temperature at about 10:30 was 42 degrees.Saw some midges and a few small dark gray stone flies. Used a 0 weight with a 12 foot leader, tied on a size 18 black caddis,with a brown biot midge larva dropped off it. Picked up a couple of small browns all on the black caddis.

Moved on to the middle channel in Morraine Park. Kept the caddis on and switched to a zebra midge dropper. Caught a couple of more browns. Water was about the same as Cub Creek, slight tannin stain and not up to high water mark. Fish again took the caddis.

On to the Big Thompson. By 2:00 water temperature was up to about 45 degrees. Fished from just below Cub Lake trail head to picinic area half way to bus turn around. Kept black caddis, and switched to red disco midge dropper. One brown and one brookie both on black caddis. Guess the caddis was the fly dejour.

Went to Roaring river next, lived up to it's name. Fast ,high and muddy. Didn't bother to fish. Over to Glacier Creek. Same as Roaring and over the banks saw a couple of fish feeding in calm pools on emergers. Wading looks difficult. Didn't bother to fish.

Hope this helps some, please share with customers and guides.
